HOME: Reading to Your Children and the Power of Story

Steven Manuel and his old good friend Jeff Davenport talk about the importance of reading to your children and how fathers can get good at it. [The most important book you can read to your family is THE BIBLE, but other works are great too] (9:00). But first, they waste our time yammering on about Earnest Shakleton and Fuddrucker’s hamburgers. They also spend an inordinate amount of time in the middle of this episode talking about Public Service Announcements shown during 1980s kids television programming (21:50) before eventually getting back on topic (26:40).

They cover: The Scriptural basis of fostering intelligence in children (10:20), The benefits of reading to children (33:15) The ways readers can improve in this important activity, and (44:00) Then give us some examples of good vs bad reading (1:04:00) Then finish by reviewing practical opportunities for dads to read (1:10:15).

Series and books we love and recommend include: Little Britches, Ralph Moody Little House on the Prairie, Laura Ingalls Wilder The Chronicles of Narnia, CS Lewis The Wingfeather Saga, Andrew Peterson Winnie the Pooh, AA Milne Anne of Green Gables, Lucy Maud Montgomery The Secret Garden, Francis Hodgson Burnett The Adventures of Robin Hood, Howard Pyle

Other books and products mentioned in this episode: The Storytelling Animal, Johnathan Gottshall R.I.F. PSA featuring Carol Burnett
